EVENTS

Foreclosed Open Studios

This is the first opportunity for the public to visit the Foreclosed architect-in-residence studios at MoMA PS1. The five teams will open their studios to the public and be available to discuss their work. Two rounds of presentations will be given. The first round of presentations will begin at 4:00 p.m. and the second will begin at 5:15 p.m.

Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream is a collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and Columbia University’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture. Jointly conceived and curated by Barry Bergdoll, MoMA's Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, and Reinhold Martin, Director, the Buell Center, the workshop and exhibition will examine new architectural possibilities for American cities and suburbs in the context of the recent foreclosure crisis. The Buell Hypothesis, a research publication, envisions a rethinking of housing and related infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the American suburbs.

The five interdisciplinary teams are comprised of professionals from various fields, such as urban planning, housing policy, ecology, landscape design, engineering, and the social sciences. Each team is focusing on a specific “megaregion,” a metropolitan area that lies within a corridor between two major cities.

MoMA PS1 admission is suggested: $10 for adults; $5.00 for students and senior citizens; free for MoMA members and MoMA admission ticket holders, Long Island City Residents, and NYC public school students.
